Heidi & Luke

I'm behind with writing about my Sister Heidi's wedding reception October 20th. It was a very busy time for my family! We all did our part to help out - the benefit of a big family. I did all of Heidi's flowers and helped her in any other way that I could. Overall, I think things turned out elegant and classy. Above is the picture of the cake that my mom made...yep, she made it - and the dress too. I added the flowers to the cake for the final touches. It tasted as good as it looks!


Guest table. I think this arrangement was my favorite. I got to take it home afterwards to keep. I wish there was a close-up because I found this great red tinted greenery which made it fun. I also used cranberries to fill in the vases. It was amazing how much color that added.

The happy couple. Heidi and Luke actually went to High School together but didn't date until He served his mission over a year ago in Taiwan.

The family. It was fun to have my Aunt Ann, and cousin Karen with her family out for the reception. It was nice to visit with them - they were also a huge help with the reception.

Finishing touches before the reception. I wish I would've take some close ups of the flowers from the front. This is more of the side/back view. Heidi did a chocolate fountain too, which was kind of fun...messy, but fun.

Heidi and her bouquet.

The highlight of the whole reception had to have been all of the kids dancing, especially my five year old nephew, William. He was hilarious! He started doing semi-robotic, semi-hip hop dance moves. At one point we got the crowd clapping for him. He LOVED it. A few minutes later, there's William again, but on the stage bustin' a groove! I'm having trouble loading more pics but might add one of him later, as if it would do the whole thing justice though! Gotta love uninhibited kids!
